Is it more of a value to get the price in USD or GBP atm for the subscriptions? I am assuming you need a US address for USD rates.

Try and take advantage of BA’s Double Tier points Holiday bookings. If you add flight + hotel or car for it and have at least a 5 day package (doesn’t have to be 5 days sequential, just within the booking) you earn double TP for your flights. Book by end of 2024 and travel’s been extended up to...

That's a monster of an itinerary if I've seen one! I thought the best way was to sleep on the plane to get the J-class rest and refresh with shower at the lounges 🤣

Just got the Qantas RED email for the NZ sale - a bit annoying that the price has dropped for OOL-AKL (1 stop MEL/SYD) by about $300 for J class (through Business Sale fares). Is this usually the 'premium' we have to expect to pay for when we do these kinds of options? Is there a better way to...

How many TP do you get for this kind of associated trip? I am assuming you can get BAEC Gold with that itinerary. 4k GBP is around 8k AUD which isn't bad for that many segments of travelling.

Is it worth getting the avios subscription even with the new subscription prices? Or have the BA and various Avios using OW partners tightened how Avios can be used?

Are you trading spot currency to get the AUD to USD conversion as a method of FX? If it is indeed on the lower cost post-commission and fees for that method, then it is certainly more attractive than Wise and Revolut. It seems that they draw you in with the ease of use and once you're in the...

Congrats on reaching OWE! A word of caution with Oneworld and its alliance members updating their respective statuses in the back end of the system. AA tends to update at the end of the month/first week of the new month - so if you have recently gotten to Platinum with Qantas, it might not...

It sounds like AA in a nutshell - thankfully, their refund process was more seamless after my complaint was raised officially in their forms, and they provided me with where to refund it. I had to write in the notes for them to please speak to Qantas as this is an OW Alliance problem. Also...

I know this is slightly off-topic, but those taking advantage of the DSC to move up status and fly with other Oneworld Alliance partners - be aware that it takes a while for it to reflect in the partner airline's system. A good example would be AA - they usually update at the end of the month...

Mainly aiming to retain status rather than gain status. So expect 4-8 weeks delay seems to be the 'Qantas norm'. Had a flight from LAX to PER thru Oneworld Partners where only 1 part of this trip so far has been awarded... so going to have to follow up later this week to get those extra points...

After booking these flights by the 27th of Feb 2024 to qualify for the Double Status Credits or Double QFF Points, how long does it usually take for these bonus SC/Points to hit our accounts? Do you have to usually follow that up with QFF?

I just booked the OOL-MEL-AKL route and back, how did you book for comfort seat to get a x2 on the SC? Does that mean you will get (560 + 560) * 2 as part of Double SC or just: base fare x DSC promo + comfort seat SC?

If you’ve got the DSC registration confirmation email, we can just use the website on desktop to book instead correct? Very interesting choice to force people to select this on the app instead (and the app actually working)

Can you explain how this trick work sorry? Never love for us over here!
